OXFORD, Ohio - After each had career-best
weekends, the Miami Athletes of the Week connected by Frontier Communications
for the week of Oct. 8-14 are sophomore forward Blake Coleman on the men's side
while sophomore midfielder Kelsey Dinges and sophomore setter/outside hitter
Meg Riley share the women's honor.

Coleman
(Plano, Texas) had a huge opening weekend to lead the hockey team to a
season-opening sweep of Colgate last Friday and Saturday. He scored three goals
while adding an assist in the two games for a four-point weekend. Friday, he
scored a pair of goals for his third career multi-goal game, including the
first goal of the game and the season, which was the game-winner in the 3-0
shutout. His second goal of the night he scored unassisted. Coleman was the No.
1 star in Friday's game.

In
Saturday's 5-1 win over the Raiders, Coleman again notched multiple points with
a power play goal and an assist on Miami's third goal. It was his first time
recording back-to-back multi-point games as he did not record back-to-back
multi-point games all of last season. Coleman now has seven multi-point games
for his career. He posted a +2 rating Friday and a +1 rating Saturday for
a +3 rating on the weekend while also firing nine shots on goal.

The
Miami Men's Athlete of the Week accolade is the first of Coleman's career while
he was also named CCHA Offensive Player of the Week for the first time in his
career on Monday.

Dinges
(Smithton, Ill.) had a monster weekend for the RedHawks, tallying two goals and
handing out two assists to keep the soccer team undefeated in the MAC and on
top of the MAC standings. She had a hand in all four goals Miami scored on the
weekend while helping extend the RedHawks' winning streak to a program-record
nine games.

On
Friday at Northern Illinois, she notched two goals and an assist in Miami's 3-2
win, for a career-high five points in the match. She scored the game-winning
goal at NIU with just 4.8 seconds remaining in regulation to break a 2-2 tie
and send the RedHawks to victory with her last-second header. The two goals
against the Huskies tied a career high, her third career multi-goal game (all
this year). In Sunday's 1-0 win at Toledo, Dinges set up the game-winning goal,
the only goal of the match, with her second assist of the weekend as Miami
topped the Rockets in Toledo for the first time since 2002. Dinges now has a
team-best 10 goals on the year and is tied for the team lead with 23 points,
both of which are second in the MAC.

The
honor is Dinges' first of her career while she also garnered MAC Offensive Player
of the Week on Monday for the first time in her career.

Riley (St. Louis, Mo.) also had a
career performance this past weekend as she recorded 38 kills in seven total
sets, an incredible average of 5.43 kills per set. She made only three errors
on 72 attempts the entire weekend for an attack percentage of .486 coming from
the outside. On Thursday at Central Michigan, Riley led the volleyball
team with 16 kills on a .424 hitting percentage. Serving also part of the time
as the setter, she had 10 assists. Riley just missed a triple-double for the
match, finishing with eight digs.

On Saturday against Eastern Michigan,
Riley did get her eighth triple-double of the season, accomplishing it in only
three sets, as she helped Miami to its first MAC win of the year. She recorded
a career-high 22 kills and also had 20 assists and 10 digs. She also assisted
on five blocks. Riley hit .538 against the Eagles. She finished with 30
assists, 18 digs and seven blocks on the weekend, averaging 5.93 points per
set.

Riley has now been named Miami Female
Athlete of the Week twice this season. She was also tabbed MAC East Division
Offensive Player of the Week on Monday.

Coleman and the No. 4 hockey team are
back on the ice this weekend, hosting Providence Friday and Saturday at
Steve Cady Arena. Dinges and the soccer team look to clinch the MAC
regular-season title as they head to Central Michigan Friday before hosting
Bowling Green Sunday at Miami Soccer Field. Riley and the volleyball team
welcome Toledo on Friday and Ball State on Saturday to Millett Hall.
